The FiberFab SC optical fiber connector is comprised of a polymer body and a ceramic ferrule/spring/crimp barrel assembly plus a crimp over sleeve and rubber boot. These connectors are suitable for, 900µm and 2 and 3mm cables. The connector is precision made and manufactured to demanding specifications. The combination of a ceramic ferrule and a precision polymer housing provides consistent long-term mechanical and optical performance.

FiberFab has developed a system to couple two SC connectors to form a duplex version. This quickly converts two single connectors, allowing the user to chose between cross over or straight through patchcord configuration

FiberFab has 15 years experience in manufacturing fiber optic connectors and cable assemblies. From Biconic and SMA through ST, SC to today’s Small Form Factor connectors like the LC, MU or MT-RJ . If you have a fiber network, no matter what the technology, FiberFab can offer you a solution to your problem.

FiberFab has full ISO9001 on all of its manufacturing facilities, so you can be confident you are using the very best in cable, connectors and manufacturing.
